Plug & Play 5G home offers easy DIY installation

Gone are the days where you need to wait days – sometimes weeks! – for a technician to come to your house and begin the arduous home broadband set up process. Thankfully technology has advanced, with the Optus 5G Plug & Play modem offering an easy, DIY set-up that even your grandparents can do. We’re talking a few easy steps that can be completed by even the least tech-savvy person. 5G is available today, so see if you’re in an Optus 5G area here, take a look at some of the current day benefits of 5G Home and learn more about the simple brilliance of Plug & Play 5G Home with Optus.
WHAT IS PLUG & PLAY?
Plug & Play is a term used to describe an easy home internet alternative that requires no installation appointment with a trained technician, but rather an Optus 5G modem that can be delivered to your doorstop. The DIY installation process is quick and easy – you plug the modem into a regular power socket and place it next to the window closest to your nearest 5G tower (you can find this using the Optus @Home app). It really is as simple as that, with no need to visit one of our retail stores nor rely on a technician to get yourself set up. The magic is in Nokia’s FastMile 5G Gateway modem, which is included with Optus 5G Home. The Nokia modem improves performance and reliability using the best signal available, with 4G connection as a permanent back-up to ensure you always have internet access on your home broadband. For only $70 per month, you can enjoy fast internet, a bigger bandwidth capability and unlimited data with 5G Home. Now available month to month with a one off $200 start-up fee or over 24 months with a min cost of $1680 and no start-up fee.
IS IT DOOR TO DOOR SERVICE?
You don’t even need to leave your house to get yourself set up with Optus 5G Home. All you need to do is head online to confirm you’re in a 5G area, then click here to purchase your 5G modem.
